May 2012

that I'll be talking about concerts and shit that were 10 years ago and they feel like they were just a couple years ago. Also, while I still party quite a bit, I think back about how I was when I was 20 and am appalled at how I pulled it off.

Now I'm like, "Oh I can't party too hard, I have work at 11am" and it used to be close out the bar and show up to work at 6am. It was rough, but do-able. It'd probably kill me now. Plus, my present work schedule is an aberration of 2-10pm shifts and shifts that start at 7:30am. Tomorrow's 11-7 is designed purely to confuse me, I feel. I wish all my shifts were 2-10, because I get bonus pay for those.
